My doctor did not warn me of the horrible side effects. I got extremely sick every time I ate so went to the emergency room. They tested for C-diff which came back negative, thank goodness. But I am still suffering from severe cold tingling arms, headaches and I'm swollen in my genital area. Getting in to see another Dr in a couple days. | THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET.

After being prescribed Clindamycin, my fever shot up to 106, and my liver and kidneys began failing. I nearly died as a result of taking this medication, and ended up in the ICU for 4 days, then the inpatient care ward for another 6 days. I've been out of the hospital now for 3 days, but still have liver and kidney toxicity which will take 2 weeks to a month to recover from. | Worst and scariest medication experience of my life. This drug is too dangerous to be given to people. | M | 29 | 3 days 500 mg 4xD | 2/25/2015 | 1 | Root canal | Rash on forearms, genital itching, raw cracks on hands, fingers swelling, scalp and back of neck rash, difficulty swallowing, general irritability and difficulty concentrating | Terrible medicine with bad side effects. | F | 67 | 3 weeks 300mg | 2/23/2015 | 1 | Root canal | Just got prescribed this due to my Root canal, I started to feel dizzy, my throat felt like it was closing up I immediatly stopped taking it after reading all the bad reviews, seems like nothing but a terrible medication. | F | 25 | 1 days 120 | 2/10/2015 | 1 | Treat abscess before oral surgery | Before initial consult with oral surgeon, an abscess was developing. My dentist prescribed Clindamycin 150mg. I took it as prescribed and abscess continued to develop. At consult ( still on 150mg ) I shared with the surgeon I didn't think it was working for me. He prescribed 300mg. Was on a week of 300mg and abscess continued to develop. Whole side of face large from swelling. I asked surgeon for a different antibiotic. Would not do it. We continued with procedure even with abscess - at doc's recommendation, against my gut feeling. Ended up in the ER day after procedure in worst, unimaginable pain ever. They did dilaudid iv to stop pain. | It did NOT seem to work for me at all. Abscess continued on as if I were taking nothing. The only side effect I am experiencing is a coating on my tongue that makes it feel dry. I am drinking my home cultured kefir to combat any imbalances in flora. Hoping this will help with the tongue. Wonder if anyone else felt it had no effect on treating what it was prescribed for. | F | 39 | 2 weeks 300mg 4X day | 2/9/2015 | 1 | Sebaceous cyst | Four days in I started having awful lower abdominal pain and frequent trips to the bathroom. After reading all the reviews and information about this drug I can safely say I will not be taking it EVER again! I feel as if I should've been warned or something before hand considering how many negative reviews are out there! | F | 22 | 6 days 4xD | 2/4/2015 | 1 | root canal | (strangely - no diarrhea) however: frightening chest pain, not able to swallow, felt i was going to die, needed to urinate but seemed stuck and painful, WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE - I quit 3 days into it - my uncle is a dentist and agrees it is a dangerous drug. | worst * scariest * experience ever | F | 47 | 3 days 150mg 4X day | 1/30/2015 | 1 | Antibiotic sick | Severe stomach ache and diarrhea. | Had to switch to something else. My body is not tolerant of most antibiotics. | F | 27 | 7 days 3X day | 1/8/2015 | 1 | Treatment for Cyst on Back | This is the worst drug I have ever taken in my life. By the second day, horrible cramping and diarrhea and abdominal pain. It didn't matter if the drug was taken with or without food- both of which were prescribed by two different doctors by the way- go figure. Side effects from this drug have lasted long after I stopped taking the drug. | This drug should be pulled from the market in my opinion. Patients are not properly warned of the serious side effects that not only can occur, most often do occur, when taking this drug. | M | 52 | 7 days 300 mg 2X day | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Wisdom tooth extraction | This prescription caused the worse bout of Diarrhea I've ever experienced in my life. It started about a week after I finished the meds, lasted full on for a week and is now slowly but surely clearing up. The oral surgeon should've given a very strong warning but instead he just handed it out. | Please consult with your PCP before taking this! | F | 39 | 7 days | 12/26/2014 | 1 | tooth absess | I was put on it an now im having trouble swalloning as if something's in my throat stomach hurts an diarrhea worse medicine ive ever been on been in N out of the er 8 xs in a month headaches an very fatigued | F | 26 | 2 months 300 mg | 12/20/2014 | 1 | molar infection | I only had mild side effects while on this Medication,I can't say the same after I finished this Drug! Gave me C.diff.I had nasty chalky powder taste in my mouth for days, about a week into this drug I had the most horrible heart burn! A week after I stopped taking this drug I had severe diarrhea was making up to 15 trips a day to the bathroom&I could not eat much or even drink much including water.Every time I would eat or drink 30 minutes later Id have stomach cramps and diarrhea! | This drug has caused a few weeks of hell.I ended up getting C.diff and wound up in E.R to find out I was severely dehydrated,low blood pressure&low heart rate.All because of C.diff infection this drug gave me.I am now on a new course of antibiotics even more horrible then this drug.I also am on a very strict bland diet for C.diff infection and it is torture.this drug also caused my wisdom teeth extractions to be put off because of C.diff I have. My dentist said he could not sedate me while I have the infection or it could cause me to have a heart attack or heart stop because the infection is serious it's almost cleared up now.I have been so depressed and crying so bad over the torture I've been through from this drug.I don't rarely take medication unless I really have to and this is proven fact why! I've now been on antibiotics for a mth almost over something that started as a wisdom tooth infection that lead to C.diff all because of this horrible drug!! I feel bad for everyone taking this right now you're in for horrible aftermath be prepared to have C.diff infection. This drug should be banned.Should not prescribe drugs to people that cause such havoc and infection on the body! | F | 31 | 10 days | 12/2/2014 | 1 | To avoid infection of Root Canal | Diarrhea. Nausea. Thirst. Slight eye itchy-ness. Sting of the vaginal opening. | This is embarrassing, I have never had such a small thing create such a huge impact on my body. I finally googled whether Cleocin could cause the runs. I have never had something like this in my life, when it comes, you have to drop everything and find a bathroom IMMEDIATELY. My increase for fluids has like tripled! I wanted to almost just buy two smoothies at once because I knew I'd drink it too fast, I even chugged a glass of half and half, lol, geese I feel like a Wild animal. I thought I was getting sick or thinking maybe I was pregnant because I kept getting nauseous. Now I don't know if it's helping with keeping an infection away as I am yet to actually finish my cycle out and will remain taking it until I see a Dr. for questions. However I was prescribed this as I am allergic to Penicillin, but I would highly recommend you to avoid this medication if at all possible. | F | 25 | 4 days 300MG | 11/24/2014 | 1 | dental implant | As soon as I swallowed one capsule felt as if my throat was closing up and then immediate sore throat followed by heartburn and stomach pain. I've had reactions to drugs before and I am allergic to ampenicillin so I became alarmed. Went online and read all the bad reviews and that some had chest pains so I started to panic since I have a heart condition. When walking around I felt dizzy... one guy online wrote to drink tons of water so I drank about a gallon of water to get the drug out of my system and was afraid to lay down since I already suffer from heartburn, colitis and gastritis. BTW for others who get the burning..try eating apple w/o the skin; the acid in apples counteracts stomach acid and helps with heartburn. I didn't take any more of the drug and called my periodontist this morning for a more mild antibiodic I've had before. His associate who doesn't know me did the dental implant and prescribed the clindamycin. I sat up in bed for hours waiting for other side effects and kept drinking more water and some almond milk. I also woke up this morning with a splitting headache, and felt off all day.. I feel fortunate that I only took one capsule and didn't have a worse reaction.. Too scary. | This drug has too many serious side effects that are life threatening. | F | 65 | 1 days 150 | 11/21/2014 |
